ACDE#207 Recap: A new testnet, Hoodi, is going live Monday to wrap up Pectra testing, if you need to test validator exits, be on the lookout for it! Everything else can be tested on Sepolia & Holesky. Pectra will be scheduled 30+ days after Hoodi forks successfully, pending infra and client testing. Fusaka planning will run in parallel, with a deadline of March 24 to propose EIPs, and a tentative date of April 10 for a scope freeze 🫡 Full recap is up on EthMagicians: https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/all-core-devs-execution-acde-207/23020

A new testnet, Hoodi, has been launched to help wrap up Pectra testing. Stakers, this is your new testing ground 🤖 Pectra will activate on it next Wednesday. Holesky will be maintained until September. It still works to test everything, except for validator exits 🫡 https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/03/18/hoodi-holesky

Well, seems like I jinxed it 😅 We're investigating an issue caused by the custom deposit contract on Sepolia. This has caused some EL clients to have issues including transactions in blocks.

Pectra went live on Sepolia and things are looking good 😄 The network finalized smoothly, blocks are full with blobs and validator consolidations are working 🎉

If we play our cards right, we'll remember today as one of the most consequential turning points in Ethereum's history. The last few months have been, to put it mildly, tumultuous. While it's clear that many things need to change for Ethereum to win, it's easy to overcorrect and kill the magic in search of maximal optimization. This week's announcements make me confident we've struck the right balance between these two extremes.

Holesky Slashing call update: We did not have enough validators online to finalize, but we saw less slashings than expected. Therefore, we're going to try and get enough validators online to finalize a block over the next couple days. If we haven't finalized a block by the Monday testing call, we'll coordinate mass slashings at that point. If you are reading this and run a Holesky validator, please get it back online ASAP and remove your slashing protection DB (to allow you to attest to the valid minority chain). More info here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Pectra/holesky-postmortem.md You can watch the full recording here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ksr-6iuSvrg

Pectra Testnet Update 📣 On Monday, Pectra activated on Holesky. An EL bug caused chain splits, resulting in a minority chain being valid, degrading the network health. Holesky validators must take action ASAP, some Sepolia users must upgrade their client. — Holesky validators: we are coordinating a mass slashing event tomorrow Feb. 28 around 15:00 UTC. You should: 1. Update your node (see screenshot) 2. Sync your node to head (new CL branches will help) 3. Right before slot 3737760, disable slashing protection More info here: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Pectra/holesky-postmortem.md#holesky-coordinated-slashings — Sepolia node operators: the fork will happen as previously scheduled at epoch 222464 (Mar. 5, 7:29 UTC). If you are using Geth, Besu, Nethermind or Lodestar, you must update your client to one of the releases listed here: https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/02/14/pectra-testnet-announcement

an underrated positive of Farcaster over Twitter is that for some reason I don't feel the need to caveat posts here
